Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"We passed these things twice before we saw you."

"I felt a faint curse at that time."

"But what I didn't expect was that this level of cursed energy could actually form something similar to a Möbius strip. It's truly a magical energy..."

After hearing what was said, Chen Zilong and Zhu Wen looked at each other in disbelief.

"Uh... no way?"

"We just met twice?"

As he spoke, Chen Zilong suddenly looked up at where he came from.

Xiao Honglu then realized:
"The room we saw was not as big as we thought."

“That’s why there are such long corridors, so many rooms, and up and down stairs.”

"It must be the work of the cursed spirit."

Zheng Zha looked at the quiet surroundings:
"Isn't this ability very powerful?"

"sharp?"

Chu Xuan looked over and raised his own question.

"Well, isn't it?"

"Okay, do you think this ability can resist zombies? Or can it kill aliens?"

"Or can it fight against the army of the dead, or Imhotep, the king of Farran in ancient Egypt?"

After Zheng Zha heard the enemies that Chu Xuan was facing, he thought about it and suddenly felt embarrassed.

Now that I put it that way, it seems like this ability is indeed useless.

"Or, if it's just you, how would you crack it?"

Zheng Zha scratched his head and finally looked at the walls on both sides.

"I might fight my way out. Since this is a cycle, can't I just break the cycle and not follow the prescribed route?"

Chu Xuan nodded:

"That's absolutely right. If even you can think of a way to crack it, who can be trapped by this ability?"

For some reason, Zheng Zha felt that Chu Xuan seemed to be saying that he was stupid, but he still said:

"But this is a residential building. What if it is an experimental base, and the corridors are made of alloy walls like the ones in the Alien?"

"Even if I want to destroy that kind of corridor, it will probably take some time, right?"

At this time, Zhan Lan said beside him:

"Whether it's future technology or cultivation magic, the more complex the structure, the more likely it is to have flaws."

"Not to mention this kind of maze that's like a Möbius strip."

"If the corridor you just mentioned really exists, although the surrounding strength seems to have increased, some aspects will also be weakened accordingly."

"Speaking of formations... Xiao Honglu, you should have figured it out a long time ago, right?"

Everyone looked over and saw that the immortal cultivator in the team was rubbing his hair in his palms.

"All methods have different paths. This is just a formation arranged using the spell power mentioned by Chu Xuan. Moreover, it is not very powerful and even very simple."

“But I have to say, the effect of this formation is very good.”

“In my opinion, it’s an innovation.”

Chu Xuan pushed the existence on his nose and said:
"I already know everything I want to know."

"Let's go, it's time to rest everyone."

After saying this, Xiao Honglu, who had just opened his mouth, offered up the Human Emperor Banner.

Compared to the surrounding environment, even more eerie and terrifying black clouds rolled in from it.

Then there were ghosts howling and black clouds whispering, and the entire corridor began to twist and deform as if it was stretched open.

Those inconspicuous existences that Chu Xuan just pointed out were destroyed one after another.

When everyone looked clearly again, it was still the same corridor and the same room.

It's just that it's a lot smaller now than before, and you can even see the front, back, left and right at a glance.

Coincidentally, this room was the same room where they first descended into the Grudge.

And the most important thing is that not far away from the crowd, there appeared a huge gray-brown insect with segments all over its body.

It's like an enlarged version of an earthworm, except it's covered with a drooling mouth and greasy mucus.

The three ladies present all frowned.

The monster appeared, roared, and then nothing happened.

Because Chu Xuan didn't know when he had walked in front of the cursed spirit.

After the two came into contact, the huge maggot-like body began to shrink rapidly and finally disappeared.

Then everyone looked at the room full of garbage, and everyone looked at each other.

Li Xiao really wanted to say that in this environment, it is not necessary to live here!

But fortunately, Xiao Honglu exists.

After a water spell, the room full of dust and garbage was instantly refreshed.

This level of convenience once again made everyone look at Xiao Honglu with envy.

After settling down, Chen Zilong and Zhang Heng looked at each other and then asked Zhan Lan curiously:

"What are those curses all about?"

"There are some at the station, on the train, and even on the overpass. There are also some in this room."

"There were so many ghosts in the Grudge world before? No, they can't be called ghosts, they should be cursed."

Upon hearing this question, Zhu Wen, a latecomer, also subconsciously came over, his face full of curiosity. After all, he had never been to the world of Curse-In-The-Grudge either.

Zhan Lan thought for a while and answered:

"Didn't those two young sorcerers just say that this thing only started to appear more than 20 years ago?"

"And this time point is when we will fight against the last Kayako."

"So I guess it was a side effect of someone's cheating that changed some unknown rules of the world, giving rise to these combined objects with Hollow-like appearances and ghostly abilities."

"That is what the sorcerer calls a curse, a cursed spirit."

As he spoke, Zhan Lan began to give a detailed explanation in a vivid and colorful manner.

Li Xiao just wanted to say that he is worthy of being a writer, and it would be a waste of his talent if he didn't tell stories.

And what is cheating?
Who has seen a one-time hang?
I am just a slave who drives the plot forward, okay?

"Does anyone know all of Naruto's Jinchuriki?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the pink-haired boy at the station just now should be a similar existence."

"However, what's inside him is not a tailed beast, but a curse, which are those cursed spirits we just saw."

"Of course, the curse spirit in that boy's body is more powerful than all the ones we just saw put together."

"I guess it should be a side plot, and it's not low."

The information that Zhan Lan said surprised everyone except Chu Xuan.

Zheng Zha looked at the man who looked normal and asked:

"You already knew?"

Chu Xuan raised his head and looked at Zheng Zha and said calmly:
"I knew it the first time I came into contact with him. Although there is some cursed energy in this boy's body, it cannot conceal the one inside him."

"Because there is something wrong with the opponent's body, it is immune to my Wuwei transformation."

Zheng Zha was stunned:
"No, that boy has cursed energy in his body?"

Zhan Lan covered Zheng Zha's face with her small hands:
"Wait, Captain, shouldn't the focus be on the second item Chu Xuan mentioned?"

After saying that, he looked at Chu Xuan:

"what have you found?"

Zheng Zha's brain was pushed and he took a step forward.

"Oh, yes, the second question is, he is immune to your skills?"

"Didn't you say that your ability can transform any being with a soul?"

"That's not the case. At least I have tried it in the main god space, and Zhan Lan is completely immune to this skill of mine."

"So I think it has something to do with soul strength or mental strength."

"And then..."

While this person was still talking.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang.

Chen Zilong stood up, looking embarrassed:
"Sorry, sorry, I just saw online that I could order takeout, and I thought since it's already noon..."

As he spoke, Chen Zilong opened the door and saw a food cart with the words "Chu Qian Restaurant" painted on it parked at the door.

As one steaming hot food after another was delivered.

Zheng Zha keenly discovered that there seemed to be something a little bit wrong with Chu Xuan's expression.

However, thinking that Chu Xuan was not such a petty person, Zheng Zha quickly focused his attention on the food. It must be said that this food, which did not cost any reward points, was quite delicious.

"Smith Marseille!"

"Walk slowly."

"Oh!"

After closing the door, the Zhongzhou team looked at the table full of delicious food.

Moss looked at the menu receipt that was more than one meter long.

It was at this time that Chu Xuan suddenly spoke:
"Do you know why the station is cursed with mutant fish?"

Zheng Zha: "Why?"

Chu Xuan lowered his head, and a white light flashed in his glasses:

"Because just a few months ago, to be exact, on August 2023th of last year, , the discharge pipe of nuclear wastewater was opened in this area, and all of it flowed into the sea."

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"There are a lot of radioactive elements in these nuclear wastewaters. It only takes 70 days for these elements to reach all of Japan's waters."

“It will spread across the nearby oceans in 240 days.”

"It will reach the Pacific coast of North America in 1200 days."

"so………"

Everyone looked at the table full of fish, seafood and sashimi and fell into strange silence again.
-
in the afternoon.

After the meal, everyone started to do nothing for a while.

But with the proof from Chen Zilong just now.

Moss actually gave everyone a mobile phone.

Started the journey of online shopping.

Of course, it doesn’t require any money.

"Chu Xuan, what is this?"

"Fuck, you still read comic books?"

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief as if he had discovered a new continent.

Looking this three-no man up and down.

Li Xiao's voice also attracted Zheng Zha and Saito Ichi.

They gathered together.

Zheng Zha also had an absurd look on his face, because the comic book in Chu Xuan's hand was an alternative comic book with very little fabric.

Of course, don’t forget that this is Tokyo, Japan. It is banned in my hometown, but it is normal here.

It’s even a hot-selling product.

It’s just that the person who was looking at him now was too extraordinary, which made it a little hard for the three people who discovered him to accept it.

Zheng Zha looked at the white cover, said "Amitabha" and then took out a book from the bundle.

Then I decisively joined in and started watching them side by side.

When Saito saw this, he also said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" They all admired the situation resolutely.

Li Xiao was actually very excited, but he already felt a cold gaze behind him.

But at this moment, Zheng Zha acted like a good brother, took out a book with almost no cloth and stuffed it into Li Xiao's hand.

Li Xiao: Thank you, my good brother!

Li Xiao flipped it casually and squinted his eyes subconsciously. Because it was too white and bright, the screen was filled with mosaics.

Mosaic…

Mosaic…

Compared to the colorful starry sky side.

On the other side, in a discussion group filled with an academic atmosphere, Zhan Lan asked three people:

"If this is your first time in the world of the Grudge, what will you do?"

"I just told you the main mission. It's to survive for seven days and avoid being hunted by Kayako."

"Zhu Wen, you are the smartest. You speak last."

"Zhang Heng, you go first."

Placing the black Hou Yi bow on his legs, the baby-faced man blushed as Zhu Wen and Zhan Lan looked at him and thought:

"If it were me, I would first learn about the situation. I would try to learn more about the background, storyline, and the character of Kayako."

"Then, maybe I'll go look for resources and information. Since this is a world of ghosts, there must be tools, equipment, items, and the like that I can use."

“I can’t think of anything else.”

After saying that, several people looked at Chen Zilong with his eyes wide open.

After thinking for a while, he said to Zhan Lan cautiously:
"Can you let me speak first next time?"

After hearing this, Zhan Lan and Zhu Wen were speechless.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

Zhu Wen spoke.

"If you curse the world?"

"Shouldn't the first thought be to escape?"

"Why face the existence of terror?"

"Of course, if you can't escape, then you need to find the protagonist."

"We can face it together with them. At least we can be braver with more people. In this kind of horror movie, courage and calmness are also very important."

Zhan Lan nodded happily: "And then?"

Chen Zilong and Zhang Heng said together: "Yes, then what?"

"Then, just wait to die."

Zhu Wen raised her eyes and looked at Chen Zilong and Zhang Heng:

"Why are you surprised? Isn't this inevitable?"

"What I just said is just the way an ordinary person struggles."

“You should know that Kayako is the root of the resentment between heaven and earth in the world of Curse-like.”

"To fight? What can we fight with?"

"Are you stubborn?"

"This is a horror movie that a newcomer simply cannot survive."

Zhu Wen looked at Chen Zilong who wanted to speak and said first:
"You mean to say that the Lord God will not issue missions that will lead to certain death, right?"

"I also know that, just like the heavenly tribulations in the cultivation of immortals, it is said that there are fifty great ways and forty-nine heavenly punishments, there is always a glimmer of hope."

"But I know myself well. I am not a gifted child. How can I say that I am the only one?"

"Similarly, in the Lord God's place, his path of life is also prepared for certain specific people."

"To be frank, if it weren't for the captain, Li Xiao, Xiao Honglu and the others."

"In Pacific Rim, I just died a few times."

"Ahem, well, am I still here?"

Chen Zilong interrupted.

Zhu Wen, who was interrupted, said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, and you too. If it weren't for your loyal soldiers, I might not have been able to wait for Moss's support."

…………

No need to exercise, no need to face danger.

The Zhongzhou team suddenly quieted down and everyone was enjoying their current life.

Of course, if this wasn’t Kayako’s hometown, they would probably still be able to sleep well.

But this kind of life only lasted for two days.

The third one is at night.

"What do you think those two boys are?"

"It should be a student, right?"

"Forehead!"

"I mean, students who are learning to destroy curses."

"It seems that after losing the inheritance of the Onmyoji, a new way to deal with the curse of ghosts and monsters has been found."

Listening to Zheng Zha's words, Li Xiao laughed.

"Of course, if it weren't like this, once we entered this world, I'm afraid it would be a real Hundred Demons Night Parade."

"Of course, that might be easier. At least the two big bosses, Kayako and Sadako, are conspicuous enough."

Zheng Zha rested his head on his hands and looked at the ceiling. (End of this chapter)
